    Layers of Fear but no Outlast? Ok.

    Outlast needs to be on here for sure.

    I also think that Aliens Dark Descent showed how scary a top-down strategy game can be...really stressful stuff.
    State of the badass art.

    I'd take Signalis off and put Outlast in there without a second thought.

    Weirdly, SOMA doesn't have horror in its TA genres.

    Glad to see Dead Space 2 got some recognition. Been holding out for Dead Space Remake to come to Gamepass, hopefully this next wave of games

    That’s a terrible list. A lot of the top picks aren’t even scary.

    It’s a theme, not a genre. Walking sim.

    Lol no Outlast, list is invalid.
    Yeah, you should. The ending is really good imo.

    Personally, strongly disagree with Layers of Fear. The game has no real threat, and once you realize that you just walk forward until the game ends. It kind of just turns into a walking sim at that point. The only real challenge is finding the collectables to get the alternate ending

    I have actually played one on this list! SOMA - although I did have to put it on the ‘no death’ setting to finish it laugh I’m a massive wuss when it comes to horror, but I did play and finish Dead Space 1 a few years ago.
    Good vibes only <3

    Dead Space 2 is really good, but if you want scares, you gotta go with the original.

    And Alien: Isolation...every October I promise myself I'll beat it. Then I get scared and stop. That is not a good game if you have a heart condition.

    Why don't you provide us with a top-ten list of "scary" games on Xbox right now?

    And I know it's from two systems ago now, but the Silent Hill HD Collection is backwards compatible. And those are far more terrifying than any Resident Evil.

    I'd take out resident evil 4 because I consider it very light on horror and I'd take out Layers of fear because its just not very good, I'd replace them with Project Zero and I'm not sure what else because the xbox is just full of those crappy first person ones where you have too hide or run.
